2019 WTF 1/2 Final:Roger Federer vs. Stefanos Tistsipas

[MeatTornado]

yep to be fair i dont think he was playing well during the summer, had nothing to do with injury. USO just doesnt suit him anymore.

Well he did hurt his back in 2017 and 2019. I think both those were very winnable even under those conditions without a tweaked back.

In 2017 he won the slow IW & Miami, made the final of both in 2019 and even did ok on clay this year. I think his issues in NY have more to do with it's placement on the calendar.

its great, once fed is out we can create storylines about how the remaining are all young guys, is this the changing of the guard , etc fast forward to next year where they will flop at slams, minus maybe thiem who will get to the rg final and flop against rafa, rinse repeat.

 

[Mike Sams]

Ok Boomer

The party is over

 

[Terenigma]

Don't let it end on a break Federer. At least hold and go out with dignity.

 

[jimjam]

I don't mind today's loss. Federer looks worn out. He's fighting an uphill battle. I kind of respect that. Well deserved xmas break. Hopefully one last really good year next year.

Well done Rogi!

 

[Yugram]

2 games before the party starts

Can Tsitsipas make it 1?

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Federer read ppl calling WTF a fake event on TTW so he’s saving himself for AO now

 

[KINGROGER]

what the hell is this

 

[JohnnyMac Fan!]

For Federer is mental now

 

[lud]

I'm happy. Federer beat Djokovic and that's what matters to me.

Really? So 2009 USO is all about tweener?

 

[Meles]

I;ve never seen age be as much of a factor in Fed's game as today. He really does seem worn down by the physicality of the first hour.

Its his back more than anything.

 

[Yugram]

Why do you hate Federer here? It's not a slam. And Nadal will not return to the tournament even if Federer loses.

I don’t like it when natics get arrogant.

 

[icedevil0289]

was there a point when fed's fh was the best shot on tour and his bread and butter, struggling to remember that point right now

 

[I Am Finnish]

Joe Ko Vich gave him false confidence

 

[Deleted member 763691]

I really enjoy watching players try to serve out the match, so hopefully Federer holds to make this happen, its the best part of a tennis match

 

[onyxrose81]

no not all of us were confident and was novak that bad on thursday, couldn't watch. w/e it is what it is, ****ing hate that fed finally beat novak for this ****.

Novak wasn’t bad per se, he had his moments, but he was defeated from the very beginning honestly. It was weird. But Fed’s serve was God-like. I shouldn’t say all but a fair few.

 

[icedevil0289]

I'm happy. Federer beat Djokovic and that's what matters to me.

stop i would rather fed win his 7th wtf title

 

[PeoplesChamp]

Nah it means nothing if he loses here

Whatever DjokrMatt.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Federer read ppl calling WTF a fake event on TTW so he’s saving himself for AO now

He is tanking

 

[onyxrose81]

Can Stef hold his nerve?

 

[romeo8880]

was there a point when fed's fh was the best shot on tour and his bread and butter, struggling to remember that point right now

There’s a generation of fans who don’t even know what it’s like...

 

[KINGROGER]

Courts are too fast for old man. He should play on clay and green clay only next year.

 

[icedevil0289]

Novak wasn’t bad per se, he had his moments, but he was defeated from the very beginning honestly. It was weird. But Fed’s serve was God-like. I shouldn’t say all but a fair few.

interesting because i would usually say that about federer being defeated from the get go when it comes to novak even if he has the ability to beat him

 

[PeoplesChamp]

stop i would rather fed win his 7th wtf title

I want him to win too, but if he doesn't he just doesn't.

 

[lud]

Now Tsist will win game with 0.

 

[MeatTornado]

was there a point when fed's fh was the best shot on tour and his bread and butter, struggling to remember that point right now

Yeah it was 2 days ago

 

[gn]

The comeback is on!

 

[The Blond Blur]

Federer read ppl calling WTF a fake event on TTW so he’s saving himself for AO now

This kid does a great Ol' Rog impersonation reading TTW

 

[KINGROGER]

He is tanking

Tanking to give nextgen more confidence to take down Djokodal next year at slams??

 

[Deleted member 763691]

Hopefully Federer will beat Djokovic at next year's AO too, and then lose to Tsitsipas who will meet Rafa in the Final

 

[NBP]

Crazy how someone can be so clutch it’s unreal when it comes to the Dubai’s, the Halle’s, the Basel’s but when it’s big titles on the line against top 10? Forget about it..

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Fred just been outplayed today. Amazing how wildly a scoreline shifts based on a few big pts. Fed did not bring the goods on them today. Serve did him zero favors either.

Oh well

 

[The Blond Blur]

Aristotle Jesus to go back to being Tsitsipuss this game and lose in 3

 

[TennisFan3]

its great, once fed is out we can create storylines about how the remaining are all young guys, is this the changing of the guard , etc fast forward to next year where they will flop at slams, minus maybe thiem who will get to the rg final and flop against rafa, rinse repeat.

This is NOT the changing of the guard.
All these overhyped new gen won't even win a set against Novak at slam level. That I can guarantee you. Even Medvedev looks hopeless. That was the only next gen hope.

2020 will be 3 slams for Novak and 1 for Nadal/Thiem

None of these next gen will do anything at slam level. Mark my words.

 

[Yugram]

Hopefully Federer will beat Djokovic at next year's AO too, and then lose to Tsitsipas who will meet Rafa in the Final

Yes plez.

 

[Deleted member 763691]

It seems like Federer will win this match if Tsitsipas doesn't serve it out now

 

[icedevil0289]

this season cant be over soon enough, idc 2019 tennis needs to be over.

 

[StrongRule]

Hopefully Federer will beat Djokovic at next year's AO too, and then lose to Tsitsipas who will meet Rafa in the Final

So in which round Federer and Djokovic will meet in your opinion?

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Crazy how someone can be so clutch it’s unreal when it comes to the Dubai’s, the Halle’s, the Basel’s but when it’s big titles on the line against top 10? Forget about it..

Thought TTW established this “tournament” means nothing

 

[clayqueen]

I'm sure Fed will be presented with the fake fans' favourite award after the match. No news of the sportsman of the year award, then?

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Fred just been outplayed today. Amazing how wildly a scoreline shifts based on a few big pts. Fed did not bring the goods on them today. Serve did him zero favors either.

Oh well

Litt up.

 

[Terenigma]

15-30. If it goes to 15-40 then maybe Federer might have a chance

 

[icedevil0289]

we always have AO 2017

 

[Terenigma]

15-40

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Ohhhhhh

 

[tennisjedi]

Time to break.

 

[Meles]

 

[Pheasant]

Come on Fed!!!

 

[MeatTornado]

This is such poor quality tennis this game lol.

Both guys just hoping the other's mishits land out.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

One last troll job from the old man ?
